Rome, June 19 (LaPresse) – "I know the task isn’t easy, but nothing in life is easy. There's a lot of work to be done, but we’re aware that we can do something great," said Gennaro Gattuso, the new head coach of Italy’s national team, during his presentation press conference in Rome. "I keep hearing we don't have players, but the players are there – we just need to put them in the right conditions to give their best," he added. "The goal is to bring Italy back to the World Cup – for us, for our football, and for the national team, it's essential." "Gennaro Gattuso has the qualities, the determination, and above all the desire to achieve something great for the Azzurri and for our country," said FIGC president Gabriele Gravina, presenting Gattuso as the new head coach. "He responded without hesitation to the call of the national team, just as he did as a player," he continued. "I was struck by his great sense of sacrifice, professionalism, and especially his ability to prioritize the team over the individual. He sent a very clear message with overwhelming enthusiasm. He immediately told me that no one wins alone."
